Hi
For the past three weeks or so dad keeps asking me if I can hear a car alarm as he is constantly hearing it, when I get him to put his hands over his ears he can still hear it so it proves it’s something going on inside his head he also keeps saying to me every night I think I will go home tomorrow, he has lived with me and my family for two years now. He was diagnosed about 2.5 years ago with symptoms building up for at least 2 years before the diagnosis, he also lost his wife last September and every night will ask when is he going to see her, (she passed away in a nursing home after a major stroke 10 months previously )but during the day he sometimes remembers she has passed away.
just wanting to ask if these symptoms are a sign of things getting worse and what I can do to help, his diagnosis is Vascular Dementia with Alzheimer’s and is on 20mg of mematine a day.
Thank you for reading this.
